Dwarf 5: Handle debug_str_offsets and indexed attributes that have base offsets.
* Process debug_str_offsets section. Handle DW_AT_str_offsets_base attribute and keep the value in dwarf2_cu. * Make addr_base field in dwarf2_cu optional to disambiguate 0 value (absent or present and 0). * During parsing, there is no guarantee that DW_AT_str_offsets_base and DW_AT_rnglists_base fields will be processed before the attributes that need those values for correct computation. So make two passes, on the first one mark the attributes that depend on *_base attributes and process only the others. On the second pass, only process the attributes that are marked on the first pass. * For string attributes, differentiate between addresses that directly point to a string and those that point to an offset in debug_str_offsets section. * There are now two attributes, DW_AT_addr_base and DW_AT_GNU_addr_base to read address offset base. Likewise, there are two attributes, DW_AT_rnglists_base and DW_AT_GNU_ranges_base to read ranges base. Since there is no guarantee which ones the compiler will generate, create helper functions to handle all cases. Tested with CC=/usr/bin/gcc (version 8.3.0) against master branch (also with -gsplit-dwarf and -gdwarf-4 flags) and there was no increase in the set of tests that fails. (gdb still cannot debug a 'hello world' program with DWARF 5, so for the time being, this is all we care about). This is part of an effort to support DWARF-5 in gdb.
